I feel there is a disproportionate amount of people on Lemmy for memes vs actual genuine discussions on hot topics.
Curious also if there is perhaps a solution to this?

I think the problem may inherently be the front page. Memes are more likely to be upvoted, whereas discussions are probably taking place in smaller communities. I’d suggest subscribing to text-based communities that you want to follow discussions in.
Yep, memes on the front page is something that happens on other platforms too. Some communities make rules against low effort / meme content so it doesn’t push out the regular discussion.
A very easy solution to most of these feed related issues is: sort by subscribed communities. Everyone has their preferences
If you want to use ALL to find communities then that’s fine, but it’s going to feel like a treasure hunt because that’s what it is
@yote_zip I feel it is probably that as well, people want to be entertained most of the time and reading things aren’t always what people are looking for even on places like Lemmy and Kbin.
